Plip-Plop Pond! by Kaaren Pixton

Here is a book babies can really sink their gums into. This indestructible book is printed on an amazing paperlike material that can’t be ripped, torn, or punctured. It is 100 percent safe and nontoxic, and if it gets too funky, just throw them in the washing machine or dishwasher. It is made for baby to hold, grab, chew, pull, and bend, and designed to create an even more special bond between reader and baby. Printed without words, the parent gets to make up the story, or just cuddle with baby while they explore together.

12 pp, 7"x7".

Kaaren Pixton is a fine artist and children's educator who has been making art with children for thirty years. The idea of printing books on rip proof, waterproof, paperlike material was developed by Kaaren and her daughter-in-law, Amy Pixton, a mother of triplets who came up with idea after bits of traditional board books found their way into her babies' mouths. Originally from Ireland, Kaaren lives in Portland, Oregon, and is the proud grandmother of eight. Amy lives in Kansas City, Kansas, with her husband and their three children.
